Wasabi!

2008 · Territory Building

Wasabi!

Players draft ingredient cards from a shared pantry and place them one at a time onto a shared board to assemble unique sushi recipes. Recipes require particular ingredient arrangements and vary in difficulty, so players build off previously placed pieces while racing for limited space. Completing a recipe grants a selectable kitchen action (Chop!, Stack!, Switch!, Spicy!, or Wasabi!) that can be used later to manipulate ingredients or disrupt opponents. Extra points are awarded for especially efficient or stylish completions. The game ends when the board fills or a player completes their quota of recipes; scoring counts completed recipes plus bonuses to determine the winner.

    I'll enjoy this, but never suggest it. The theme is great - the components are stellar, but it feels too much like Scrabble for me to be completely happy. Just a way to whittle away time.

    El juego es claro, pero no lo encontré nada interesante a parte de que sufre de análisis parálisis brutal hacia el final de la partida
